Mary, it has been awhile. Would like to reconnect. Noah and Cynthia Alma/Almy (It was actually initially spelled Alma, but pronounced Almy)are my 3g grandparents. They were in Pennsylvania in 1850 - Elk Creek, Erie County, though both were born in New York. Their first three children, Julia, Laura, and A. were also born in NY - Castile, Genesee County. The family moved first to Pennsylvania, then to Fairfield, Wisconsin, near Baraboo , Delton PO. Noah and Cynthia are here in 1860, 1870, and 1880. The 1880 Census gave me a surprise. It says Noah's father came from Wales. Rosanna has a son named Llewellyn Newell. The name Llewellyn comes from the first recognized Prince of Wales, acknowledged 1267 by Henry III, King of England. The family seems to like to leave name clues. Rose's sister, my gg grandmother, Laura (Alma) Hornby Atkinson named one child Bertram, a town in Norway (though I have not connected this) and Laura's daughter, my great grandmother, Inez Mabel (Hornby)Shaver Ecker named a child Alma Ecker (pronounced Almy). Laura's family with three Atkinson children and three Hornby children moved to Fargo, North Dakota. Laura's 1st husband Robert Hornby died in the Civil War, as did her brother, Samuel Almy.)
Would like to connect with other cousins to help fill in the pieces.
